Black pride exists because they are not represented well in society. It is a response to white racism. Blacks have to tell themselves they are proud to be black because society keeps telling them its wrong to be simply by how they treat them everyday.
White people try to equate white pride to black pride. But the problem is that white pride is that its unnecessary. We live in a world where white is the standard. Their dignity and self respect is not danger at all.
And worse of all, being proud of being white is essentially saying you are proud of all the bad things white have done in this country. You are saying you are proud of slavery, killing Natives, and so much more. Most whites are okay with the fact that it happened as they are not sorry that it ever did happen and will often defend it religiously.
Being proud of being white is pretty stupid because there really is nothing to be proud of. It only exists out of the sheer anger that blacks are not letting whites win anymore.
Automatically, someone who is proud of being white, obviously holds racist views, otherwise why would they be proud of something that has done so much evil?
Now when whites say they have "Irish pride, or Italian pride, or British pride" that is different. That is pride of one's cultural heritage. Of course its silly to be proud of those things if there hasn't been a first generation Irish or Italian in your family in like a hundred of years. It actually annoys Europeans when whites say they are "Irish" and etc.
Blacks have pride in being black as they are unable to have Jamaican pride, Kenyan pride, or even Caribbean pride.
Its okay for minorities to have pride in one's race because they are fighting against a society telling them its not okay. Its not okay for the majority race to have pride in one's race because it represents how they think they are superior and only confirms their sick racist beliefs.
